HI
My 4 greats grandma was Martha Cockshott b.1813 in Kildwick or Silsden. Martha married Joseph Robertshaw on 11 Sep 1837 at Christ church in Bradford. Martha's siblings were Thomas, Margaret, William, John, Ellen and Anne. Her parents were Edmund Cockshott b.12 March 1784 in Farnhill and Anne Bottomley b.12 Oct 1782 in Sutton they were married on 13 Nov 1804. Edmund's parents were John Cockshott and Margaret ?. Anne's parents were John Bottomley and Anne ?. I would appreciate any more info about any of the above.
thanks

Hello list,
this is my first posting, so here goes.
I am trying to find information about my 5x great grandmother. Her name is MARGARET COCKSHOTT, she was born in Heckmondwike (correct my spelling, I'm sure it's wrong !) in 1819.She married John Dixon, a tailor from Newchurch-in-Pendle. At the time they met they were both living in Low Moor, Clitheroe, Lancashire, she a 20yr old milliner and he a widowed tailor with 8 children. Margaret must have been a brave woman to take them all on. They went on to have a further 7 children - what was i saying about being a brave woman !
If anyone is researching Yorkshire Cockshotts I would be very grateful if you would get in touch,

Hi - just noticed you don't have my surname variation!
Changed by my grandfather (who was Dennis Cockshott, son of
Edgar Harry Cockshott) around 1930. I think his siblings did
the same...

Evening Simon,
You're right .. haven't got that one :-) Just looked on

hell of a job researching their ancestors if they don't have
this information :-)))

Evening folks,
I've been quiet of late as I've been designing a web site
for a client (English and German) about biotech. He didn't
know what had hit him when I suggested a page for gen stuff
:-)
I've just added pages about how DNA can help in genealogy.
Have a look at www.biotechsworld.com

Excuse the cross postings please.
Anyone have a copy of this book mentioned ? Gatty's Hunter ?
Cheers Jane
The Cockshutts of Huthwaite and Cawthorne were related to
thc
Wheats, the Sambournes, and the Broadbents (see Gatty's
Hunter, p.
170, note). They were for several generations connected with
the Wortley
Iron Works.
Mr. John Cockshutt, of Huthwaite Hall, was the hero of
scene in the House of Commons. During the Administration of
Mr.
Pelham (First Lord of the Treasury with a very brief
interval from
1743-1754) an attempt was made in Parliament to encourage
the use of
American iron in opposition to the Swedish and Russian.
Amongst the
persons sent up from Sheffield to oppose this, the American
iron being
reckoned not equally good with the other, was Mr. Cockshutt.
Sitting in the gallery one evening when the debate ran
pretty high, and hearing a gentleman saying something he did
not like, he rose up and called out,
"I hear, by that fellow's talk, he knows nothing about the
matter. Show
him a piece of iron and a piece of steel, and he'll not know
which is
which, I'll be bound for it; yet he pretends to teach us in
our trade."
Upon this there was an uproar in the House. Some were for
committing
him to prison. However, in the end he was suffered to
remain, and
next morning a very polite card was sent to his lodgings,
inviting him to
breakfast with Mr, Pelham.
and
In Paradise Square, too, was Thomas Sambourn, Deputy
Clerk of the Peace. He left Sheffield in I792, and died in
America in I806. His father came from Oxford, and married
Miss Wheat, of Retford, whose mother was a Miss Cockshutt,
of Cawthorne.

Subject: RE: [LEI] KIRBY- Osbaston
Hi Tony and list
The village of Osbaston is not a parish in it's own right
but comes within
the parish of Market Bosworth. This is a large parish which
has records for
Mkt Bosworth, Barleston, Carlton, Shenton and Sutton Cheney
churches plus
one or more of these churches cover the villages of Coton
and Osbaston.
I have found records of my family who lived in Osbaston
baptised in Cadeby
church so it is probably worth searching all of these.
My family history references cover Osbaston and the owners
of the estate in
the early 1800s appears to be a Josiah Cockshut Twisleton.
This doesn't of
coarse preclude your family working for him.
see

WILLIAM WATT, Mayor of the City of Brantford, and contractor
and
proprietor of the planing mills and lumber-yard on Waterloo
Street in
that city, was born in Monymusk, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in
July, 1818,
and is a son of the late James Watt, a native of the same
shire, and a
farmer by occupation, his death occurring in Scotland in
1862. James
Watt was married to Elizabeth Steel, a native of the parish
of Fyvie,
Aberdeenshire, and had a family of eight children, seven
sons and one
daughter, of whom there survive five sons and the daughter,
two of the
sons being in Canada. The fifth son, William, the subject of
our sketch,
was reared in Monymusk, and attended, only during winter
months, the
parochial school in the place, till he became 15 years of
age. In summer
time he assisted his father on the farm. At the age of 16 he
was
apprenticed for four years to the joiner's trade, and then
worked for
three years as a journeyman for various employers. In
August, 1843, he
emigrated to Canada by himself, and remained in Hamilton and
Dundas,
upper Canada, for but a few days, then came to Brantford,
where he was
first employed by one David White, for the winter. In the
spring he
received an engagement with William Mellish, which extended
over three
years. His next employment came from VanBrocklin & Co.,
foundrymen, on a
job of manufacturing separators, but he shortly established
himself in
the building business, in which he has ever since been
engaged. About
the year 1855 he erected a shop near the spot where the
present first
Baptist Church stands, and ran the machinery for five years
by
horse-power. Finding his business fast increasing, he bought
the land on
which the present factory stands, and erected a
planing-mill, run by
steam-power, which stood for a year, when it burnt down.
This event
necessitated the erection of the present extensive
planing-mill, which
is fitted up with the latest improved machinery. For the
last twenty
years he has done the largest business in his line of trade
in the
county. Mr. Watt has been a member of the Mechanics'
Institute for 40
years, and Treasurer of it for many years, until two years
ago, when he
resigned. He is also a member of the St. Andrews' Society,
and has been
treasurer of it for nearly 30 years, as well as President
for one year.
He was one of the promoters of the Royal Loan and Savings
Society, and
has been Vice-President and a Director since its foundation.
he took an
active part in establishing the Brantford Young Ladies'
College, and has
always been identified with it as one of its Directors. He
has been a
member of Zion Presbyterian Church for many years, and
Chairman of the
Managers' Board for the past 13 years. He was elected a
member of the
town council in 1868. In 1882 he was elected Mayor of the
city, and at
the end of the second term was re-elected by acclamation. In
politics he
has always been a reformer. He married Oct. 2nd, 1844, Elsie
Cruickshank, daughter of John Cruickshank, farmer, Gourdas,
Fyvie,
Aberdeenshire, and Sarah Milne, daughter of Alexander Milne,
farmer,
Petty, Fyvie, by whom he has a family of eight children,
viz.: William,
of the firm of Watt & Shenston, publishers of the Brantford
Expositor;
Elsie, wife of A. A. Allan, wholesale furrier and hatter,
Toronto; James
F., of Workman & Watt, proprietors of the Brick-yard,
Brantford; Lizzie,
wife of Stephen Nairn, coal merchant, toronto; Helen, wife
of William H.
Harvey, general merchant, Meaford, Ont.; Mary, wife of James
G.
Cockshutt, President of the Cockshutt Plough Works,
Brantford; Robert,
travelling salesman of Adam Hope & Co., hardware merchants,
Hamilton;
and Bella, at home.

Chapter IX
Conclusion Of The Revolutionary War
sulted in casting on his reputation and character,
which seemed to have had only remarkable physical
bravery as a redeeming trait, the suspicion that
murder, as well as treason, was among the crimes of
which be had been guilty. The circumstances are
briefly these: Jesse Jordan, a deputy wagon-master of
Chester County, on Sept. 27, 1778, with a brigade of
twelve wagons in his care, was ordered by Col. Andrew
Boyd, the wagon-master of the county, to Philadelphia,
there to load with provisions, and thence to New
Windsor. Jordan was absent much longer than was
expected. On his return Col. Boyd demanded the reason,
and was told that when he reached Philadelphia, Deputy
Quartermaster-General John Mitchell had ordered him,
with his train of empty wagons, to Egg Harbor, N. J.,
then a harbor for American privateers, where he was
instructed to load with merchandise belonging to
private persons. This he did, and when he returned to
the city the goods were delivered to stores kept by
private individuals. Col. Boyd immediately laid the
matter before Council, and on Jan. 18, 1779, that body
demanded an explanation of this transaction from Gen.
Mitchell. On the 23d the latter replied that he had
sent the wagons to New Jersey by order of Gen. Arnold,
whereupon Council requested the general to inform them
whether the goods transported were public or private;
if the latter, to whom they belong; also desiring
Arnold to refer them to the authority by which "public
wagons of Pennsylvania were sent into another State to
do business merely of a private nature." On January
30th, Jesse Jordan was fully examined respecting the
circumstances of this trip. While the matter was
pending Arnold left the city, and Jordan and his
teamsters being then "in great necessity," the Council
considered that "the board ou't to relieve them, so
far as to advance £450 until they can procure further
redress." On the 25th of February, Deputy
Quartermaster-General Mitchell appeared before
Council, acknowledged that the blot in his memorandum
book under date of Oct. 30, 1778, was done by his
orders to conceal an entry of his clerk "of the return
of Mr. Jordan's Brigade of waggons from Egg Harbor, &
that the obliteration was made after the charge
against Gen. Arnold for haying used the public waggons
for his private business had come to his (Mitchell's)
knowledge." He subsequently, on March 1, 1779, in a
lengthy letter to President Reed, gave a
circumstantial account of the matter, and on March
27th, Timothy Matlack, the secretary of Council, wrote
to Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant, stating that Council
had advanced Jordan four hundred and fifty pounds, to
be repaid when he should recover compensation for the
use of the wagons from Gen. Arnold, and the body was
anxious to learn whether legal proceedings had been
instituted. Ther appears no reference to the subject
until October 10th, when Mr. Sergeant informed Council
that he had instituted suit for Jesse Jordan against
Gen. Arnold, but the action had at that time abated by
the plaintiff's death, for "Jesse Jordan has been
lately murdered in Chester County." That Arnold
personally did that deed no one believed, but there
was a general impression that of all men he had the
greatest interest in the wagon-master's death, and
after the former's treason many there were who thought
that perhaps he knew more of the particulars of Jesse
Jordan's "taking off" than be cared to tell.
The privateer brig "Holker," named in honor of the
French consul at Philadelphia, was owned by Robert
Morris, and it is related that on one occasion the
vessel, in lead ballast, reached the city very
opportunely, for, at the time, the American troops
were entirely out of bullets. Her owner immediately
turned her cargo over to the authorities for the use
of the army. On July 20, 1779, the "Holker" was lying
at Chester, where a crew was being recruited for the
privateer, and Maj. George Harvy was instructed by
Council to allow the then owner of the vessel, Mr.
McClanachan, to have ten tons of disabled cannons for
ballast. The price was not exactly stipulated, but the
major, as some guide for him in adjusting that matter,
was informed that wben these disabled cannon were
delivered at Chester the ironmaster would give one ton
of bar iron in exchange for four tons of the old
metal. The brig, as before stated, was then lying at
Chester, commanded by Capt. Matthew Lawler, and at
that place, from July 17th to August 2d, a crew was
recruited for the vessel by Davis Bevan, captain of
marines, who had before been mustering officer for the
county of Chester. The following list gives the names
of the crew, as well as the sums paid each man at the
time of enlisting;1

Hello Listers
My name is Carole Cockshott, I live in Sydney Australia and I am a new
member of this list.
My Cockshott interests are in Lancashire and so far I have got them back to
the mid 1700s.
In the early years they are centered around Blackburn in places like Over
Darwen and Lower Darwen, Livesey and Blackburn. By the time of the 1851
census they have moved into Preston and by 1881 into Bolton.
The earliest name I have is Abraham who married Nanny Grime in 1776, their
son
Elijah was born 1794 with his son also Elijah being born abt 1823.
Elijah the younger married Martha Ward and by 1878, their son Henry Ward
Cockshott was living in Bolton where my husband's family have been ever
since.
Here's hoping these names match with someone else's.
I have a lot of Cockshott names from the Blackburn Parish Register and from
some non-conformist chapels in the area.
